You have two options.  Correlate the events with the logs from your  
Squid proxy, or move the Snort sensor inside the proxy.

Sometimes (and right now I can't remember if Squid does it) it will  
add a header to the http that says "X-Forwarded-For" or similar that  
will have the IP of the actual client.  However, like I said, I can't  
remember if Squid does that for you, and that would be the only way  
that you can see the IP behind the proxy.

Hi,

I'm using snort 2.7 on two machines, one at a hub next to the router  
and the
firewall and since yesterday a second sensor on my proxy (squid). All
web-traffic must go through the proxy.
The first sensor gives information about e.g. that one uses google  
desktop
but does not say which client (of course, as source is the proxy).  
So I
installed snort as a second sensor on the proxy but without success.  
The
alerts the first sensors finds are not found on the second sensor  
(the squid
protocol might differ from HTTP).

Is there a way to configure snort to reveal which exact client  
"breaks"
policies?

Thanks, Helmut
